Mutu faces six-month ban over drug test

FIFA will keep a watchful eye on the Adrian Mutu case to ensure the FA impose a minimum six-month ban on the Chelsea striker should claims that he has tested positive for cocaine be proven.

The Romanian international, whose future at Chelsea was already uncertain following a bust-up with manager Jose Mourinho, returned to London yesterday to await the result of a B sample.

It has been confirmed that the substance was not performance-enhancing but linked to social drug use, and there have been claims that the substance involved was cocaine.
